iGP Manager TurboDuck League - Join now for FREE

No problem. :)

 

In theory, those who've recently joined could benefit by using the second account to progress through more races quicker and overtake their main team, then swap around for the next main season. Also can take more risks to see how things eventuate, and gain experience in managing a 2-car team.

Lots of close battles going on - now would be a great time for more people to join since there's a bunch others who've recently started:

Now created a second account :)

[Guest MrLolololXD]

Woah! When did we get all these extra people join?!? Good stuff!

[Ryzza5]

I'm not sure if anyone noticed the post in the iGP website but to make things a little more fair for the newer guys we'll be prohibiting KERS and DRS for Season 1. Come Season 2 we can all start using it.

 

The B league now has 5 teams (10 drivers), and the first race is due to go ahead on Monday.

[Paladin Skylark]

Okay so I'm signing up for this. Seems like fun. :D

[Ryzza5]

Took you long enough to notice..... erm I mean, Welcome :hi: :D

 

Hope you're ready in time for the next race in about 4 hours

I'm hurriedly getting things done, even if I have to stay up till 5 AM to do it. :D

After 4 races in our first week in the B league here are the standings:

 

 

 

I've barely put the minimum requirements in for these races and not using the 2D viewer is a disadvantage but I've gained some valuable insights into managing a 2-car team. Remember the main league will switch to 2 cars in the second series.

[T3hReaper91]

Wow that was a good race!

 

Made a stupid decision to go slightly longer in the middle stint that cost me the win, If i stuck to my plan could have got the win but im more than happy with 2nd compared to my previous results :)

[The Compensator]

Was 9th on the grid and finished 7th. I think that's good considering The fact I suck at this game. :lol:

[Ryzza5]

It was a good race last night :)

 

 

[Paladin Skylark]

I might have no chance left in the regular series, but I'm slowly catching up on our B series.

Good fun. :D

[Ryzza5]

My brother said he was the only one there last night. :)

 

I've learnt what I wanted so far so not giving it too much attention. When it overtakes the main league it'll be good for extra practice though.

[Ryzza5]

I haven't been doing any setups or strategy for the B series last week but I should probably have another look now since it's now ahead of the main game, so a good way to practice some various strategies. Both my B drivers suck though.

[T3hReaper91]

Was a fun race! Considering i qualified far down the field 2nd was a good result for me! Happy with the result and looking forward to Monza next!

[Ryzza5]

With a few races to go it's time to start thinking about the next season and here are a few things to keep in mind:

 

 

1. Extending contracts - if you don't do this *before* the staff members last race with you, they leave - you may need to do this or you might want to hire someone new.

 

2. Components - if you're not fighting for a position in the championship you might want to move the slider to start focusing on developing next years components.

 

3. Prizes - I've been told (thanks to the B league season completion) that the championship winner receives a voucher for 1 free month of iRacing. I already have an active subscription so there might be one up for grabs for you lot...

 

4. 2nd driver - the plan is for next season to feature 2 cars/drivers. So that's another person you'll have to hire. Car building costs double and you may need up to double the amount of engineers and mechanics.

 

5. Software upgrade - my biggest advantage goes down the loo since the 2D viewer will be made available to everyone for free - meaning you can all see and manage your tyre temperatures live.

 

iGP Manager has released the latest details surrounding the next update for the web-based title that is set to improve and expand on various areas of the game.

 

One of those changes means that once the pre-race preparations are locked the sim will immediately move to qualifying and then race which in doing so is said to reduce the chance of weather changing from the time you completely your car setup and also giving more time for race preparation.

 

Another new feature of the coming update is to the free race viewer changes include taking the existing 2D viewer and converting it for use for free players, minus the sound and “d overview. This will allow Free-to-play users to access all the same data about their cars such as tyre temperatures which are available in the premium 2D Pack. We certainly hope that you will support iGP by upgrading to the premium viewer but we expect you will find the update to the free viewer to be substantial.

 

Current plans are for the latest update for iGP Manager to be rolled out on Saturday March 16th with many exciting features said to be in the works for future updates.

 

Other changes in the latest update:

 

Reduce instances driver gets held up by traffic in unrealistic manner

Managers can tell how wet the track actually is during the race

2D Pack now displays remaining KERS, current tyre temperatures, and compounds of all tyres

Various bug fixes

[Guest MrLolololXD]

Wait the 2D pack is now free?? I DEMAND MY MONEYS BACK NAO IGP :evil:

[Ryzza5]

I hope you're not going to do a Camel on us

[Guest MrLolololXD]

Hell no, not after buying a subscription lol. Plus this is awesome fun

[Camel]

I hope you're not going to do a Camel on us

 

What, not have enough time to play this? I stopped when someone close was quite ill for a few weeks and then after that I started doing overtime most Sundays(yay money).

 

If it was run on a day and time that I could do then I'd play it.

You don't have to be online for the race? You can still set up and enter the race??

[Camel]

I'd still fall behind in the race prep, research etc.

 

And I wouldn't want him to race without me seeing it, my driver messed up when I was watching it so God knows what he's like when I'm not. :lol:

[Ryzza5]

You were still 2nd for ages, if you hadn't let your car's suspension fail and DNF you'd still be right up there ;)

[Ryzza5]

The software upgrade now means that all users can see their own (and everyone else's) tyre selection and temperature gague on the new timing screen

 

 

As you can see it was a great race, with rain changing things up with only 2 laps to go.

 

 

 

And with 3 races to go there's still plenty to play for

 

 

 

 

Free players don't actually get the 2D viewer, what they now get is a screen that looks identical to the 2D viewer except there's no track map and car icons going around, just a grey background, but they get all the extra info and controls now.
